"I realized, if that many people were gonna talk about something that I did, or something that I do, then I should make it a good thing," Cyrus said. "And I should make it something that can change people's lives rather than be a controversial conversation that does nothing but become a fun Halloween costume for people."

She also shared that she had previously wanted to separate herself from her Hannah Montana persona, but has since come to embrace that part of her life. "Everyone should embrace who they used to be because it's made you who you are now."
